TO ALL WHOM-I'I MAY CONCERN:`

Be it known that I, HENRY B. BARBER, of Scott, in the county ofCortland, and in the State of New York, have invented ,certain new anduseful Improvements in Churns; and vdo hereby declare that the followingis a full, clear, and exactrdescription thereof, reference being had tothe accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference markedthereon.

In the annexed drawings, making part of this specification, A representsthe body of theehurn, which may be made half round, as represented, orinV any of the known and usual forms for upright ehurns. B represents aportion of the cover, which is stationary, and-B a movableportion ofvsaid cover. Secured upon the stationary portion of the cover is ametallic frame,v G, in which ashort shaft, H, has its bearings. Thisshaft is provided with a bevel-gear wheel, a, and with a plainplate-wheel, I, which is secured in an inclined position upon saidshaft. P represents another frame, secured upon the portion B of thecover, and in which a shaft,

L, has its bearings. The shaft L has upon one end a crank, and upon theother a bevel-Wheel, K. which gears.

into the wheel a. To the upper end of an arm, d, of the frame G ispivoted, at its centre, a rocking-shaft or lever F. Depending from thislever F is an arm, J, and upon the arm, near its lower end, are twolugs, between which the rim of the wheel I plays. When the wheel Irevolves with shaft H, it communicates a vibrating motion to arm J,which gives an oscillating motion to the rocking-lever F. To each end ofthe lever F is pivoted the upper end of a dasher-staff, C C, whichextends down into the churn. These dasher-staffs are provided withcross-bars S S, portions of which are seen in iig. 2, and from thesecross-bars project the arms D D. E represent vertical strips, secured tothe inside of the churn.

When the shaft L is revolved, lby means of its handle, the wheel K givesmotion to wheel a, which revolves the wheel I. This wheel revolving,causes the lever F, through its arm, J, to oscillate,. thus' giving anup-anddown or vertical motion to the dasher-staffs and their arms. Theagitation of the milk or cream, by the arms D, causes the butter to beset free from it.

` Having thus fullyv described my invention, what I claim as new, anddesire to secure by Letters Patent, is The arrangement of thedasher-staifs C C and their arms, with the oscillating lever F, arm J,shaft H, with its inclined wheel I, and the bevel-Wheels a and K,substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing, I have hereunto set my hand,this 27th day of March, 1867.

HENRY B. BARBER.
